Article points out that both sides have doubts about election integrity.

"...Three different presidential elections and four different presidential candidates all claimed the man inaugurated commander-in-chief stole the election. Yet while tolerating claims that Clinton and Gore actually won the White House, the corrupt media immediately co-opted the Nazi comparison Joe Biden deployed in response to Trump’s claims of fraud, branding his charges “The Big Lie.”

A Highly Useful Smear Since November
Democrats and their paramours in the press didn’t limit the catchphrase to Trump’s claims of widespread fraud during the 2020 election. Rather, when confronted with evidence of illegal voting, disregard of election laws, or states’ violations of the Elector’s Clause of the Constitution, the left casts the complaints as all part of “The Big Lie...."”

When They were showing live broadcast of the vote counts where They wouldn't allow Republican challengers near the one counting the votes, you could see the counters using pencils or markers writing on ballots. Whether to spoil a ballot, mark in Who They wanted if someone didn't vote for either, or marked a blank ballot for a certain party. I always thought No pencils or markers were allowed

This is what's going to bite them on the ass I think: "Politically, this approach may currently serve Democrats’ interests because their guy won..."

By whatever means this country cannot continue on its present course. Does that mean the right resumes power again? I'm not sure that's sufficient to combat the sea change in mores and norms we've witnessed over the last decade or so. Or does it mean that this union of states is somehow broken apart and re-formed however that may occur? I don't know but something has to give or else we may well go the way of other failed republics throughout history.

Any time election results are not believed by a substantial portion of the population, a democracy/republic is in serious trouble. That's where we are folks.

the latest was a statistical impossibility…it’s sad watching it happen…however, it’s hardly surprising…
